Fahmy was working as a producer for Al Jazeera when he and his colleagues, Baher Mohamed and Peter Greste, were arrested in Egypt Dec. 29. They have been charged with being members of a terrorist group, inciting violence and possessing unlicensed broadcasting equipment.

"Our case is on the same day as election announcement," Fahmy was quoted as saying, adding that the judge intentionally chose a date when journalists would be detracted from the trial.

The trio last appeared in front of a Cairo court for the ninth time on May 23 when several audio and video recordings - provided by the prosecution against them and other defendants - were displayed, Al Jazeera reported Sunday. They have spent 155 days in jail.
